i think that makes sense as a self-defense weapon. that is why the assault ban is not going to pass. less than 2 or 3% of all pherdz in this country are -- murders in this country are committed with a rifle of any kind. most murders are committed with handguns. at the end of the day the magazine limitation is not going to fail because it doesn't address the problem. in the hands of a mother, six rounds are not enough. in the hands of a criminal, one is too many. the ar-15, four million guns available, assault weapons, very popular selling gun. i think under heller that type of weapon would be protected. it's not the guns you own. it's who owns it. at the end of the day the universal background check are not going to make it. senators manchin and toomey are trying to find a solution in a smaller way. here's my concern about background check. last year 80,000 people failed the background check. 9,000 who failed the background check were convicted felons on the run from the law. and 44 people were prosecuted out of 80,000. of those 9,000

this goes well beyond the purpose of self-defense. the desire to arm ourselves against a young man or willing who willingly risks their lives to defend our freedom -- soldiers, navy, marines, air force -- is not a reason to oppose an assault weapons ban. the wish to arm ourselves against the police who keep our streets safe is not a reason to oppose an assault weapons ban. i believe that as americans, we have a right to arm ourselves against criminals, but we don't need the ability to arm ourselves against the army or the police. the united states military is not out to get us. federal law enforcement, local police departments are not out to get us. these conspiracy theories are dangerous and they should be put to rest. in the real world, not this conspiratorial world that some live in. in the real world in addition to mowing down first graders assault weapons are used to shoot down the very people who are sworn to protect us. here's one real-world example in nevada. after serving nine months in afghanistan with his national guard uni
